Asset protection, creditors' rights and restructuring require a thorough understanding of the state and federal laws relating to secured and unsecured debt (including judgments), and the exemption of assets.  As bankruptcy counsel we have worked with companies to structure and obtain creditor and court approval of plans of reorganization for industrial, service, retail, and real estate companies.  On the other side of the fence, we have protected the interests of people and businesses during the bankruptcy of their customers or clients in connection with the recovery of assets, maximizing the payment received, defense of preference and fraudulent conveyance litigation, and the assumption and rejection of contracts (to name just a few).  Our experiences in this area further allow us to effectively assist individuals regarding asset protection strategies, and represent creditors in their efforts to collect debts.
